| Reverse description | A boldly rendered Sanford's Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus sanfordi) is depicted in dramatic low flight, wings fully spread and angled upward, talons extended to seize a fish from the surface of stylised ocean waves that fill the lower field. Fine feather detailing is rendered across the wings, breast, and tail. The curved legend WWF CONSERVING NATURE arcs along the upper periphery, the denomination 1 DOLLAR appears in the right field, and the date 1998 follows along the lower right, all in raised Latin lettering. |
